"RyDee" Eliminated in 8th Place ($269.50 + $141.41 in Bounties)

Blinds: 3,500/7,000

"RyDee"moved all in for his final 40,000 and change, and after Clayton "claytonfletcher" Fletcher was the lone caller, it looked like it would be a chopped pot, as both players showed Ace-Ten suited.

However, the flop brought three clubs, which suited Fletcher just fine, giving him the nut flush, and leaving "RyDee" drawing absolutely dead.

Anthony “Flawlessbinkage” Maio Doubles Through "Jinxy"

Blinds: 3,500/7,000

After a raise from "Jinxy", Anthony “Flawlessbinkage” Maio would move all in for his final 115,000. "Jinxy" thought for a bit before calling with {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}, but he was one upped by the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts} of Maio

The flop of {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}{9-Hearts} gave Maio top pair, but also gave "Jinxy" a straight draw. An ace on the turn still kept him alive, but another nine on the river didn't change anything.

"Ptkceaser" Eliminated in 9th Place ($211.75 + $95.31 in Bounties)

Blinds: 3,500/7,000

In a battle of the blinds, "RyDee" would set "Ptkceaser" all in. "Ptkceaser" would call with {a-Hearts}{3-Clubs}, but he would need lots of help, as "RyDee" had {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}. The flop brought some chop outs for "Ptkceaser", but that would never come to fruition, giving "RyDee" the first knockout of the final table.

Another Knockout for Butcher

Blinds: 3,000/6,000

Following a raise from Alex “JinYang” Butcher to 14,000, "IReadYrSoul" would move all in for just under 50,000. Butcher would call with {4-Spades}{3-Spades}, and he would take the lead on the {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} flop. He would turn two pair, meaning a five and a five only would flip the script at this point.

A seven came instead, and Butcher adds another bounty to his list.

Menzer Gets Unlucky to Bubble

Blinds: 2,000/4,000

Mike “MistaMenza” Menzer was the short stack with 12 left, but he looked to be in great shape to get a much needed double up, when he got his chips in the middle in a blind vs. blind situation. His {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} was well ahead of the {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts} of Alex “JinYang” Butcher, but in a flash, that would change, after the flop came {9-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{3-Clubs}.

Münzer would need running cards to survive now, but a queen on the turn would end things. With that, the remaining 11 are in the money.

Fletcher Vaults Into the Chip Lead

Blinds: 2,000-4,000

Action started with short stack "MortySmith" moving all in for just under 50,000, and chip leader "spinach_kale" tried to isolate by shoving over the top in the small blind.

However, Clayton "claytonfletcher" Fletcher would wake up with pocket queens in the big blind, and by the river, Fletcher would have a straight. With that pot, he is the new chip leader with 366,000.
